Feb 3rd. - Well, we love most of Taupo!

This was a first for me, but last night I actually got us kicked out of a hotel!  Well, we were asked to leave by the manageress but cooler heads prevailed and her husband overruled her.  

I won’t go into detail, but suffice it to say I know my way around the internet and when we were told repeatedly that our poor internet connection was our fault and that what we were doing was impossible - well, by the 5th time I indicated, quite strongly, that I wasn’t going to waste any more time talking to someone who was basically accusing me of lying! She didn’t take kindly to this!!!

And this at 9pm on the eve of the biggest holiday weekend of the year here.  Not a single vacancy anywhere! I’ll have some fun with internet reviews you can be sure!

Today we drove back up to Papamoa to spend our last 4 days in NZ with Scott and Monique. Had a great afternoon at the beach and went to a party with the neighbours tonight.  We’re feeling right at home.

Cool beach transportation!
